Careers and Employability Service – Recruit postgraduate specialists in technology and management

Internships and projects In addition to presentation days, employers can gain direct value by hosting a Cranfield student on a project or internship. Each year, our postgraduate learners work with organisations to apply their knowledge to real business challenges — providing companies with fresh insight, practical solutions and access to future recruits. Why get involved? • Solve real business issues – receive high-quality, objective research into challenges you may not have the time, resources or expertise to address internally. • Access outstanding talent – see Cranfield students in action and assess their potential as permanent hires and future leaders. • Gain fresh perspectives – our diverse, global cohorts bring international experience, industry knowledge and innovative thinking. • Develop your people – mentoring an intern allows employees to grow their leadership and management skills. • Flexible formats – projects can be delivered virtually or face-to-face, over different timeframes.

“Cranfield students offer employers more than just skills — they bring new thinking, practical experience and the confidence to deliver results from day one. Gain access to a pipeline of highly skilled talent, strengthen your capacity for innovation and build lasting partnerships with a university that truly understands industry.” Preety Plahay, Internships and Projects Manager, Cranfield University “My summer internship was a highlight of my MSc in Management. I brought an outsider’s perspective and energy, challenged assumptions and delivered on the brief at pace for TUI, earning a contract extension.” Matteo Bagaini, Management MSc 2025
